Molde, 4th in the table, host Start, the bottom club in Eliteserien tonight. The two teams have completely different goals: the hosts need three points to hold their position in the table, while the visitors are battling to escape the relegation zone. Molde just thrashed their opponents 5-1 at home in their last league match, and before that they had won at home by wide margins in several matches. Their attack has averaged more than two goals per game throughout the season, while Start lost heavily in their last league match and their defense has already conceded 48 goals in 22 matches, second only to a few teams in the league. This game is likely to see Molde dominate possession and push forward, while Start will have to defend deep and wait to counter. If the hosts score early, the game could end in a rout, because the pattern of play and the quality of the players on the two sides are clearly different.
